Chapter 106: Bringing Tong Huo Yang into the Group
"Is something really approaching?"
Seeing Tong Kun react so strongly, Shi Baiyan and Tong Huo Yang couldn’t help but feel a sense of urgency. They immediately drew their weapons and entered the Spiritual Roots revival state.
Blue spirit patterns appeared on Shi Baiyan’s forehead, and water swords separated from his Spiritual Sword, entering battle mode.
Tong Huo Yang, with red spirit patterns, activated the Fire Sword Spiritual Law, coating his Spiritual Sword in a brilliant fiery layer.
Tong Kun had Dual Spiritual Roots, with golden and wood patterns that shone even more brightly, his aura far surpassing that of Shi Baiyan and Tong Huo Yang.
In a team, Tong Kun was a figure similar to Xiang Liangren; though he was not quite as strong as the captain, he was much stronger than the other team members.
"Thump, thump, thump…"
Yun Ye’s figure appeared, crystal flames swirling around him, growing hundreds of times taller in an instant, intimidating the three.
Spirit Law intimidation!
It was a preliminary application of the knowledge he had acquired.
"This is bad, break free!"
Tong Kun urged, channeling his Spirit Sense to break through the intimidation.
Yun Ye was ultimately just a beginner; even with the enhancement of the spiritual body, he didn’t possess much power and was still lacking when it came to dealing with a cultivator who activated Spirit Law.
As soon as Tong Kun broke free, he angrily swung his sword, sharp golden power merging with the wooden spikes, piercing out.
Then—clang, clang, clang.
Chains spread out.
They locked him down.
He didn’t have Nether Fire and couldn’t resist the Spirit Law chains; once the chains appeared, he was unable to move.
This scene left the three present in shock, especially Tong Kun, who couldn’t believe, "The people from Baishi Town? Wasn’t he the one attacking me just now?"
This situation was something they hadn’t considered, leaving them confused.
However, Yun Ye didn’t stop because of this; in the next instant, he was already behind Tong Kun.
Boom!
Blood splattered everywhere.
Tong Kun smashed into the ground, covered in blood, barely surviving with just one life left.
"It was just a moment!"
The enormous fear caused Shi Baiyan and Tong Huo Yang’s pupils to suddenly shrink, then widen, their bodies completely stiffening as they could do nothing. A deep sense of fear lingered in their hearts.
The feeling of trembling spread throughout their bodies…
The gap in strength was obvious; this was not something that could be bridged with a few shouted slogans and bursts of passion.
Resisting was a dead end!
The more they thought about it, the more despair and helplessness spread. Tong Huo Yang, still youthful and spirited, gritted his teeth in determination.
Shi Baiyan, however, was done; his legs went weak, and he knelt down, crying out in pain, "Senior, spare my life!"
Yun Ye looked at this former enemy with a teasing gaze.
It felt very real.
Seeking immortality, isn’t it just a fear of death?
Not everyone is like great heroes, charging into danger for their dreams, or possesses an immortal cheat that makes them unafraid of death.
Generally, those who aren’t afraid of death without these conditions are often labeled as "madmen."
Shi Baiyan was not mad, so he begged for mercy, hoping to gain a sliver of survival.
Yun Ye did not rush to deal with Shi Baiyan, enveloped in crystal flames, leaving only a vague silhouette.
Yet Tong Huo Yang still felt his gaze upon her.
"What about you? Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
Yun Ye asked.
Tong Huo Yang gritted her teeth, wanting to say something fierce, but considering how difficult it was even to move, speaking felt like lifting a mountain. So, she closed her eyes and said, “Kill me or torture me, do as you wish.”
She never had the luxury of choice.
She understood clearly that without power, any opinion was meaningless; it all depended on the other’s whims.
"I can see the anger in your heart; it’s fragile, but nobody is born with courage… You should know your situation. Now, you have an opportunity to break free from this predicament."
"Tong Huo Yang, how do you choose?"
Yun Ye chuckled lightly.
Tong Huo Yang looked up in shock, realizing that the newcomer recognized her and was here to recruit her?
Why?
"I don’t think I have any value."
Tong Huo Yang replied.
She didn’t harbor any hopes.
Even though Tong Yuan was dead, the Tong family would never accept her.
It’s a simple truth: would other forces take her in just to use her?
Continuing to suffer in a new place wouldn’t be better; it was wiser to choose the known, where at least the situation wouldn’t worsen.
“No, compared to him, you are very valuable. He is dead, and you are alive, with your own will.”
Yun Ye leaned down and patted Shi Baiyan, instantly clouding his eyes with confusion as Yun Ye took over his body.
Upon stepping into a new tier, controlling an ordinary Black Armored Spiritual Law was quite easy for Yun Ye.
Under Yun Ye’s thoughts, Shi Baiyan began to dance like a puppet, looking quite ridiculous.
Tong Huo Yang did not feel like laughing; she took a small step back, feeling an icy chill seep into her bones. “I’m still alive… what does that even mean?”
"Smack—"
Yun Ye clapped his hands, and Shi Baiyan’s movements abruptly stopped, frozen in a strange pose, filled with grief and anger, while Yun Ye felt nothing but joy.
Yun Ye said, “Don’t get it twisted; I am talking about thoughts. He is a complete slave, while you have yet to be fully immersed, completely turning into an obedient slave.”
"You’re recruiting me, aren’t you just looking for an obedient slave? Otherwise, why would you want me?" Tong Huo Yang said, feeling confused.
Yun Ye laughed, “Do you think betraying a few obedient slaves will have any impact on Baishi Town?”
“…” Tong Huo Yang completely did not understand what this mysterious figure meant.
Did he want to target Baishi Town?
Was he out of his mind?
Five Captains.
Six Officials.
That was just the surface power.
Did the major families really lack Captain-level cultivators?
Were there only the Chief and Deputy Officials?
"You need to take steps one at a time, but I can tell you a short-term goal—overthrow Baishi Town, we all work together to win."
What kind of nonsense was this person talking?
Tong Huo Yang’s eyes reflected her disbelief.
With her level of cultivation, even if she recruited ten thousand more, it would be impossible to overthrow Baishi Town.
And she would definitely die along the way; what significance would that have for her?
Yun Ye knew that empty words wouldn’t convince someone as cunning as Tong Huo Yang, but he didn’t plan to explain too much after all. Tong Huo Yang only had one choice, didn’t she?
Further education could come later.
Yun Ye changed the subject: "Tong Huo Yang, you should know your origins, right? You and the Tong family are not on the same path. The ending for you will probably be to exhaust your vitality and end up thrown into the trash. Don’t you have any thoughts on this? Like, why should the direct descendants drink their own blood to grow?"
With that simple sentence, Tong Huo Yang’s blood pressure rose, anger surging within her.
She wanted to ask—why?
Because they were born better?
Yun Ye smiled: "And my only aim is to pull down some arrogant big shot from their high throne… Since everyone will die anyway, how do you plan to choose your death?"
“What kind of death, you say? I see now, what should I do?” Tong Huo Yang surprisingly believed it, as she felt this was also a dead end.
Now she could apply her reasoning.
Going back to the Tong family was also a dead end; trying this new path had no cost.
Maybe she could survive?
She had no relatives in the Tong family, not even any familiar friends; betraying them wouldn’t be a burden.
The only issue was the Spirit Law oath.
But that problem seemed minor; this man in front of her could break the Spirit Law Official’s oath, so surely he could break the Tong family’s Spirit Law oath too.
